    Hi guys,

    I struggle to do some questions without scrap paper…. the rules say we are not allowed scrap paper in the exam. I have read about a ‘scratch pad’ but not sure if its in the applied knowledge exams.

    My exams tomorrow! please someone get back to me.

    Thanks,

    Sav

    Please read the information if sitting remotely:

    https://www.accaglobal.com/content/dam/ACCA_Global/Students/Remote-exams/Student%20Information%20Sheet%20v2.0%203%20June.pdf

    On page 3:
    “WHAT ABOUT THE EXAM ITSELF?
    For all exams you will be permitted to use blank paper to do your rough workings …. ”

    Also see here – FAQs re on-demand CBEs:
    https://www.accaglobal.com/ie/en/student/exam-entry-and-administration/computer-based-exams/on-demand-cbes/remote-on-demand-cbe-info/remote-on-demand-cbe-faqs.html

    “Can I use scrap paper for making notes?
    Yes. Students are permitted 2 sheets of blank paper which they must destroy in front of the remote proctor at the end of their exam …”

    If sitting at a CBE centre see here https://www.accaglobal.com/us/en/help/centre-based-exams.html:

    “Is the use of scrap paper still permitted in centre-based exams?
    Yes, you may use scrap paper during your centre-based exam for any notes and calculations.
    Scrap paper will be available on request at your exam centre on the day.”

    Hi, thank you for all your help. Just wanting to check, has there been any changes to this since? I have read on the ACCA site that paper is not allowed? Link below:

    Thanks,

    Hello Anton

    There haven’t been any changes, you are looking at something different. You are looking at “session” cbes and not “on demand” cbes.
